Ha, mine too. I used to watch funny vine compilations or Jacksepticeye, and I was basically playing TNTL the whole time. I was online schooled so I didn’t want my parents to hear that I wasn’t actually doing my work.

Same for Portuguese,we just use “kkkkkkkk” and the more k’s the funnier you are,imo it’s better because it allows for a more precise measurement of the laughter,sometimes in English I find something more funny than lol and less than lmao.
in French we use “mdr” and “ptdr” (the more r’s at the end the funnier you are) wich is kind of like lol but I hate it because it doesn’t flow off the tongue

In romanian it sound more like "pfoai să îmi bag pula de nu" now translating that in English is almost impossible but a general ideea would be something "to put my dick in something" but the same expression is used to express any feeling, but with slightly different pronunciation, to illustrate the feelings.

Damn u Romanians are truly the weird brothers of the Latin family lol,I want to learn Romanian in the future as it is the only Latin language I am yet to know how to speak,
the only thing I can think of that can come close is the Portuguese “Caralho” which literally means “dick” but can be used as almost anything

Examples :

Portugal Caralho “Let’s go Portugal”

Caraaaaaalho que foda “that’s amazing”

Caralho fudeu “we’re fucked”

Que caralhos é isso ? “The fuck is that.?”

Vai pra casa do caralho “Go fuck yourself”

And many other meanings that I’m too lazy/can’t translate,I’m counting on any Brazilian/Portuguese reading this to add more meanings

“lol” is strictly used to indicate that the particular message I’m sending is not hostile and is meant to be taken in a manner that is not mean nor aggressive. Any other usage I find to be kind of cringeworthy

Yeah like "I hope to slaughter you and everyone you care about after firdting throwing you into a pool of broken glass and lemon juice. I want to then pull you out and light a match and ram it into your right eye while pouring hot sauce into your left. I want to shoot a bullet through your nuts while slitting your mother's throat as you hear her final screams for mercy. Lmao. "

I usually do this whenever I'm arguing or discussing stuff because I'm afraid of being mocked for being wrong. Saying "lol" at the end makes me seem less invested and more like I'm not even that interested in the discussion, or that I'm just joking.

I do this because whenever I laugh my mom hovers over to me and says “what are you laughing at” like she has something to do with it. I can’t say “nothing” because she will say “I know you’re not laughing at nothing”

Lmao all the time

I don’t really laugh at jokes unless the situations is just right. Watching standup on YouTube never gets me to crack even a smile even if I really enjoy it. Same goes for texts. Not that I don’t find it funny but I only really laugh because of social cues rather than something’s comedic potency.

I actually do I'm fact, except for the laughing emoji though. I used "xD". Usually when I use those, I sometimes do find it funny but I don't laugh because parents will think it's something bad I'm laughing at, mainly my mom my, dad don’t care. I don't like to draw attention. We don't have the same sense of humor. She doesn't really understand the humor/jokes millennials and Gen Z laughs at.
normally I use it if the replies on my chat gets dry and have nothing to say.
